Day 23

Permission to Need Tenderness

not strength — just gentleness

Not strength today. Not resilience. Not bouncing back. Tenderness — the kind you'd give a child who was tired and scared and didn't have the words for it. You are allowed to need to be handled with care. You are allowed to ask for it.

Reflect on this

  1. 1

    When was the last time someone was genuinely gentle with you?

  2. 2

    How do you tend to yourself when you are depleted? Is it actually enough?

  3. 3

    What would you say to a woman you loved deeply who was feeling exactly as you feel right now?
